Does he ever take on his man?

He doesn’t really do anything.

He’s not a good defensive worker, doesn’t really press, doesn’t seem to be back helping the full back out, he doesn’t take a man on, he strolls around a lot, he doesn’t pass quickly enough, always wants to take the easy option and pass backwards, he’s never got any energy to him so there’s never any quick passing moves/give and gos/one-twos on the edge he of their box, never dribbles into the box, can’t cross, never works a shot from outside the box...

He sometimes gets on the end of something and scores though.

 

[Tb1981]

No because he quickly realized he can’t beat EPL defenders with pace. I’ve seen zero dribbling skills with him, no trickery.

Reminds me of nolito
He looks average and not good enough for this league and not suited for this team
I think we will sell in summer if we can get our money back otherwise he’ll stay another year

 

[Edwin Edwin]

Other than that mazy run that he set up the goal against Sheffield United at home,he doesnt affect games..and with the few opportunities he's had he's been poor,not enough of a threat on/off the ball..decent movement/finishing but very few positive signs so far
Despite having already been a starter for Valencia,he desperately looks like a regular academy player who's just broken through in his first professional season and is just an emergency option
Hope there's something in there and that he doesn't go under especially with the weather and homesickness,and wants to go back to Spain soon,
because at this rate,and with the expected signing(s) upfront,spells on the bench will continue and may even be longer

He doesnt suit playing vs the parked buses we come across every week, I know the 12 months rule but there hasn't even been sparks, dissapears in most league game. Looks better in Champs league as there's always more space to play in. Think he'd thrive in the Bundesliga.

Lets give him 1 more year before we write him off.Last year Rodri and Cancelo looked lost playing for us.Although Cancelo has fallen of a cliff recently he has been a big part of the season.

 

[tommybooth]

Looked good at the start of the season and that is it.

 

[Whether or not]

I agree with this. It has been such a weird year for a young lad to try and settle in a new club and country. He looks a bit of a nothing player at present, Nolito Mark 2, but it is a bit early to write him off. He could come good yet.

 

[Withnail]

His form when he has played recently has not been good, but it's his first season in this country so I think you need to give him another season before we decide if we keep or sell him.

 

[Paul1970]

He can’t be that rubbish as he is banging goals in for Spain and has scored some good goals for us but the problem is whenever he plays he is upfront with sterling and Jesus who are not doing anything to make him look good . He is never going to be Leroy sane so no point making comparisons but I do think he will come good for us but I’m worried that he is not liking it in England .

 

[dhruvblue]

Can't judge early, need to give him time but I don't see what people se in him

Some say he is better through the middle??
Yeah is better bcoz he actually doesnt gi full anonymous from middle. Out at wings he is just like corner flag doing nothing. Middle he gets touches here and there, it's not better according to me. Looks disinterested and not influencing game much like bis other attacking colleagues at club outside Mahrez
